Good morning, SPaRTA people I will talk about my ideas that I have in mind for SPaRTA

1: Increase the production of SPIT, is the most obvious since it is the official drink of the TSP is also in the articles written by Volaworand

2: Support all member countries and make agreements between us

3: Save to bankruptcy countries

4: Have a SPIT creation company and several other things

5: Follow the articles written by Volaworand and Auphelia

6: Earn money in production of something new that I have in mind (I'll tell you soon) and give away some Volaworand and Auphelia

I will be ready to start with these ideas and thank you very much

The South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement (SPaRTA) trading bloc released data today on the year to date sales of SPIT of the 18 current member nations showing that while total SPIT sales in the South Pacific have fallen -6.9%, sales in the trading bloc have grown by 20.4%, growing the overall market share of the SPaRTA trading bloc by 29.2%.

Market Access & Barriers to Trade
SPaRTA strives to support the reduction of domestic and international barriers to trade to support the success of the South Pacific’s SPIT industry in a market free of trade-distorting factors.

As the South Pacific’s SPIT industry expands, the potential for export opportunities continues to grow. Building our export potential and addressing restrictive trade barriers will require concerted and consistent efforts between SPaRTA, governments and international organizations to gain advantageous market access around the world.

Better positioning the South Pacific SPIT industry to compete for market opportunities requires action at home. A fragmented regulatory environment for internal trade and commerce continues to restrict business potential across the South Pacific.

South Pacific SPIT continues to face substantial competition in the market from established SPIT-producing countries and cannot afford to be hindered by restrictive trade practices. 2019 Strategic priorities include:

• Expanding the trading bloc.

• Fair access to global markets.

• Intellectual property and trademark protection.

• Advocacy and exchange with government, industry and international SPIT organizations on issues including SPIT standards, labelling, health and safety, trade, and supply chains.

• Counterfeit SPIT detection and the protection of SPIT interests in key markets.

• Supporting product and marketing innovation.
